Chapter 3 Function Introduction

 

3.1 Scope 

Scope mode shows voltages and currents in the power system under test by means of 

waveforms. Also numerical values are shown such as phase voltages, phase currents 

and frequency etc. The Scope waveform screen offers an oscilloscope style of display 

of voltage and current waveforms with a fast update rate. The screen header shows 

the related rms voltage/current values. Channel 

L1/A

 is the reference channel. 

 

Function keys instruction:  

F1

Select the waveform to be displayed: U displays all voltages and I displays all 

currents. L1, L2, L3 and N (neutral) simultaneously display voltage and current of the 

selected phase.  

F2

: Press this key to adjust the waveform display automatically according to 

screen to get a better observation effect. 

F3

: Enable or disable the cursor. After enable the cursor, the waveform value at 

the Cursor position are displayed in the screen header. Move cursor by pressing

or

key. 

F4

: Open/close the Zoom function. After open the Zoom function, zoom waveform 

though pressing direction keys. 

F5

:    Switch between HOLD and RUN.  

After starting measurement, press 

SAVE

key  to save  current screenshot or 

measured data.
